Meghan McCain called out Kevin McCarthy for endorsing Liz Cheney’s opponent in her GOP primary race in Wyoming, tweeting “It’s distasteful and unbecoming of any leader to endorse a primary opponent”:
We are either a big tent party or we aren't. It's distasteful, trashy and unbecoming of any leader to endorse a primary opponent. @Liz_Cheney should still be able to sit with you if antisemitic space laser Marjorie Taylor Green can.
The message this signals is stupid boomer shit

Weird. She wasn’t this mad when Liz Cheney, then the third-ranking House Republican, donated to Rep. Thomas Massie’s primary opponent in 2020:
Someone forgot (or is conveniently ignoring) what Liz Cheney did to Thomas Massie. What goes around comes around. https://t.co/Dfq439SzVs

“We are either a big tent or we aren’t,” right?

No, she didn’t think it through:
It's unbecoming for a leader to endorse a primary opponent against Liz Cheney…the same Liz Cheney who endorsed a primary opponent, while in leadership, against Thomas Massie.
No offense to Meghan, but she didn't think this through. Easier to just say "I like Liz Cheney." https://t.co/MT8U6xc1Dt

And it doesn’t even make sense. These jobs should not givens:
This doesn't make sense.
Are we not supposed to have primary elections? https://t.co/QZfsgr5Bvv
